On non-trend days, price tends to balance around the VWAP/VPOC. I personally use both.

I was wondering if the volume profile can be plotted similar to your setup in TOS? I can only specify 1 time period and see the profile from there - not on a per-day basis. A bit crippling, but the message I want to hear still can be heard. If you know a way, I'd appreciate it.<br /><br />Eitherway, thanks for the information you present on your blog!!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />AliAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950036895483878060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-88190022883418110572012-04-09T16:47:47.271-05:002012-04-09T16:47:47.271-05:00No, those are targets to cover Short from Initial ...No, those are targets to cover Short from Initial Resistance Zone.E-Mini Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254731622932971485noreply@blogger.com
